Skull of Gul'dan
Statistics
Combat
This article contains lore taken from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, the manuals, and/or official bonus maps.

The Skull of Gul'dan appears in A Destiny of Flame and Sorrow. Unlike other items, it appears as a building that can be targeted and destroyed in order for Illidan Stormrage to consume it.

Its 3D model was originally intended for a building called the "Altar of Chaos", which could have been the Altar of the planned Burning Legion faction.

Item description[]

Ground description: This is the Skull of Gul'dan.

Inventory description: Once a powerful user of Demonic magics, the Demons answered his calls, and found a greater use for his head.

Speculation[]

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

Rather than an oversized skull, the building may have represented the skull and its altar. The Cataclysm quest N [15-30] The Skull of Gul'dan implies that a red crystal was used as an altar for the Skull of Gul'dan.
